I don't know where you got that from or how your arrived
at that conclusion...

While I don't know of any hardware that is *only* 32bit and
sold by Sun, Solaris 10 runs on 32bit PCs and will do for the
foreseeable future as I'm sure a good part of the opensolaris
community would be upset if it were to be abandoned.
